Fashion Notes.

From the New York World.
Black surah is now decreed to be the proper
silk for half mourning.
The Frances Cleveland and the Dorothy
Whitney are the names of two of the new
shapes for summer hats.
The perfumes best liked by those who wear
perfumes are mixture of violets and SHOWS
drops called Bouquet de Dame and an inde-
| scribable Oriental perfume known as Corilop-
sys de Chine.
Necklaces formed of flowers are novelty
| for dinner and wedding toilets. They are
| made SO as to allow the sprays and heads
| to hang down to the edge of the low bod
ice.
A new French material called Trouville
cloth has been introduced for bathing dresses.
It comes in all colors and is very light and
clinging.
A summer fashion is to edge the hammock
upon the cottage balcony with wide coarse
lace and run bright-colored ribbons of two or
| three contrasting shades through it, tying
voluminous bows of the same upon the hooks
| by which it swings.
A new fashion of dressing the hair, popular
| just now in London, is called the f'Indian
/ coiffure," and adopts, in modified form of
course, the IDEAS of the squaws of the Wild
West show. 1t is said to be delightfully."-
barbaric," and that is very graphic descrip
tion of it.
The Panama hat grows in popularity daily
and it's trimmings grow larger and more
| like the styles of 1880 to match the gigot
sleeves. A pretty one is trimmed with huge
| upright loops of old rose tulle, in which is
set big cluster of wild roses and white 1ilacs.
| Feathery touches of green are judiciously
| added.
| Among the new ideas in silk hosiery is
spiral stripe which encircles the stocking,
| running round it from knee to ankle, and
L szl.A -, L. e
as the ground upon which it is woven. It is
| known as the corkscrew stocking, but such
sensational novelties always short-lived.
| Soft cloth hats in English walking shape,
with sloping crown and rolled brim are i'm
ported by hatters and by tailors for ladies to
T brims are stitched or corded in shape, land the
| only trimming is a cloth band. They come in
| tobaceo-brown cloth, in white, gray, tan or
| navy blue.
| English tennis blouses, to be worn with
| either wooden or muslin skirts, are made of
| striped white and blue flannel or of any of
| the fancy tennis cloths. These are belted
gathered waists, with a basque-like piece
| falling on the hips, making them as long as a
| Norfolk jacket. They have deep sailor col
lar of plain white or blue flannel, opening ov-
| or a white shirt plastron, on which tennis bats
are wrought. The collar is tied with ribbon
and the slightly full sleeves are gathered into
a deep cuff of the blue.
| A pretty fashion for the dresses of June
bridesmaids is to make them of moire an
! tique, with the old-fashioned rippled designs,
/ and to drape over them gold or silver net.
/ This is arranged in the full careless draperies
SO universal now, and the white moire bodice
| is cut low and without sleeves. The over
l waist OF net is gathered at the throat and the
| gathered net sleeves end at the elbow, tied
| with narrow moire ribbon.
| White serge and camelis shair dresses are
| made by tailors in very simple designs for
| the mornings in the country. The round
| basque or Norfolk jackel may be merely
| stitched or finished with cord like edges
of braid, or else it may have rows of mar
| row white braid. The skirt is is wide kilt
| or box plaits For more dressy fannels
| silver or gilt braid is added. Or else they
| have vests and collars and cuffs of gray green
| MORE, and sometimes of gray, blue or helio-
| trope.
| Embroidered white muslin dresses have a
short skirt made of open worked embroidery
| in squares or stripes and simply hemmed,
| the drapery is then plain muslin, or fancy
| sash with Roman stripes, or of surah, and
| the basque is made of the embroidered goods
with the inevitable vest of the silk or Roman
| ribbon. The bishop sleeves are of the muslin
| gathered to a cuff of the ribbon
